Diary of our stinking Govt.

[boris1gary]

As it's more than 100 days now, it has been suggested that a new thread was needed.  The current govt has been breaking promises and telling lies at a rate so fast it's hard to keep up.

This below is worrying, "independent" pffft, as if your own doctor is somehow what? biased, it's ridiculous. So far there is talk of only including people under a certain age 30-35, for now. Remember that if your injured in a car, injured at work or get ill, you too might need to go on the DSP. They have done a similar think in the UK with devastating consequences.

and this is the 2nd time recently where the Govt has referred to work as welfare???? So when you go to work tomorrow (or tuesday), just remember that's welfare.

Independent doctors could be called in to reassess disability pensioners, Federal Government says

The Federal Government is considering using independent doctors to examine disability pensioners and assess whether they should continue to receive payments.

Currently family doctors provide reports supporting claims for the Disability Support Pension (DSP).

But Social Services Minister Kevin Andrews is considering a measure that would see independent doctors reassess eligibility.

"We are concerned that where people can work, the best form of welfare is work," Mr Andrews said at a press conference.

Rudd and Gillard govt at least worked toward the future, unlike Abbott, who only sees the fight and works toward the past.

JOB vacancies have hit their highest level in two years.

Employers surveyed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in November said there were 150,400 vacancies, up 2.6 per cent from August, according to seasonally adjusted figures.

That was the same as in August, and well above the low of 3.1 seen in 2010 and 2011 as the economy bounced back from the financial crisis.

There were 137,900 private sector job vacancies in the November quarter, up 2.8 per cent on the previous quarter in seasonally-adjusted terms.

The number of public sector vacancies in the quarter rose a seasonally-adjusted 0.5 per cent to 12,500.

The survey is conducted every three months.

Indicators of job demand across Australia’s resources-reliant economy have showed modest strength in recent months. The widely watched ANZ Bank’s job-ads survey, on Monday, showed a 1.8 per cent increase in December from November, the seventh straight rise.

for those that missed it last time. More Jobs ads does not mean there are more jobs

Job advertisements rose for a seventh straight month in December, but are not translating into lower unemployment as job losses also remain high.

The widely watched ANZ job ads report has recorded its seventh consecutive monthly gain, jumping 1.8 per cent in December.

The number of job ads on the internet and in newspapers is now 11.4 per cent higher than they were a year earlier.

However, the rise in ads has yet to translate to a reduction in unemployment, with the November Bureau of Statistics figures showing 6.3 per cent of the labour force out of work, and no improvement expected in December's data due out this Thursday.

ANZ's chief economist Warren Hogan said that is probably due to a combination of strong immigration flows and significant job losses in some sectors.

"In all likelihood, this divergence can be explained by a higher than usual rate of job losses in the economy," he noted in the report.

"The good news is that the economy continues to produce new employment opportunities. The bad news is that this has not been quite enough to counteract the flow of new workers into the economy plus the on-going loss of jobs in certain sectors."
